Ad Rant: U-Switch

Good God, the misery known as 'the U-Switch ads' continues.
 
All singing, all dancing, all bloody annoying!

And they're not the only guilty party, McCain and of course (how could we forget) Halifax, 
are equally responsible. 

It doesn't matter how they're sung, whether it's Gospel, Broadway Musical, whatever, 
the message is that these musical style ads never produce anything but irritating dross.

Hopefully Clients will wise up and realise that picking a creative route which associates their brand with something that's fucking irritating is the wrong route to take.

Ad Rant: AQUAFRESH - Amazing(ly bad)

"You've found it...it's your mouth...and you've got a lot to look forward to!"

Christ, I can't help but cringe whenever I hear it. It must be the most bizarre beginning to an ad I've ever heard! And who writes this sort of stuff anyway? What a load of baloney!

I can see what they're trying to do with this strategy, but it doesn't quite hit the mark, and even if they change the execution, I can't see it getting any better.

Let's just hope the whole campaign gets canned asap.

TV: Look good Knockers!

After his cringe-worthy "Banger" groping antics reached an all time high last week, Gok Wan was on TV last night interviewing the cast of the Sex and the City movie, asking each member of the cast for a snog! 

Surely this is more proof that his thin veil of fake homosexuality is finally slipping?


TV: Street Doctor

Spotted - Yvette Fielding's midget sister on Street Doctor.
See if you can spot her amongst the blood and pus!
